San Francisco to Get Its First Bunny Cafe, Bringing Adoptable Rabbits to the City
A new bunny cafe is set to open in San Francisco, offering visitors a unique opportunity to interact with adoptable rabbits and learn about their care. The cafe, inspired by Alex the Great, a Flemish giant rabbit who worked as a therapy bunny for the San Francisco Giants before passing away in July, aims to provide a more convenient space than outlying animal shelters.
The Bunny Cafe will be located at 1327 Columbus Ave. and is expected to open in late November or early December. The cafe's concept is centered around creating an immersive experience where visitors can learn about rabbits as pets, meet adoptable bunnies, and interact with them in a safe and controlled environment.
To ensure the well-being of both humans and animals, the cafe will have strict rules in place, including requiring online reservations, complimentary non-slip socks for visitors, and a secure bunny lounge where food and drinks are not allowed. The cafe's menu will feature vegetarian and vegan options, with proceeds going towards supporting bunny rescue nonprofits.
In an effort to honor Alex's legacy, the Bunny Cafe will partner with three local rescues and provide discounts to first responders and medical providers, as well as free visits for kids at Family House. The bunnies themselves will be "bun unionized," meaning they'll have limited shifts for socializing with humans, but will still be available to interact and play.
The cafe is also incorporating high-tech gear, including PiFi feeders that use facial-recognition technology to track the bunnies' food and water intake. Visitors can expect a fun and educational experience, as well as the opportunity to support animal welfare organizations.
While some critics may have harsh opinions about bunny cafes, Kathreen Kato, the cafe's founder, is driven by a passion for creating a safe space for adoptable rabbits and educating people about their care. With her dedication to honoring Alex's legacy, the Bunny Cafe promises to be an unforgettable experience in San Francisco.

i'm all for it, honestly. like, who doesn't love bunnies? but what i think is really cool is that they're partnering with local rescues and using the profits to support animal welfare organizations. it's not just about making a quick buck, you know?
. but seriously, it's great that they're prioritizing the health and well-being of both humans and animals.
. i mean, facial recognition tech is pretty cool and all, but what if it gets hacked or something? anyway, overall, i think this cafe has a good vibe and i'm looking forward to trying it out when it opens up! 
and have you seen the pics of those cute bunnies?! they look like they're just waiting for someone to swoop in and adopt them... but is it all just a marketing ploy to get us to buy more vegan snacks?! 
it's genius thinking to bring those adorable fur babies into a safe space where ppl can learn about their care & maybe even adopt. and omg, the piFi feeders with facial-recognition tech? that's like something outta sci-fi! 
kudos to the founder for putting animal welfare 1st & honoring alex's legacy 
i do hope they get enough support from the community tho, those bunnies deserve all the love 
. I'm curious how they're gonna make sure all those bunnies get enough rest and playtime, though... like, won't they just wanna chill all day? 
The whole "bun unionized" thing is genius, btw! 
Can't wait to check it out when it opens up 
And what about the whole "bun unionized" thing - sounds like just a fancy way of saying we gotta pay more so those bunnies can get treated right 
I mean who doesn't love cuddling adorable bunnies? and that it's supporting animal welfare organizations too is just amazing 
but seriously though, I hope it's not just about making money off cute animals, that Alex the Great would want to make sure we're doing our part in helping those rescue bunnies 
I'm excited to check it out and maybe even make some new furry friends myself! 
. Sounds like a pretty cool idea to me! The owner's got some major kudos for making it a safe space for both humans and animals - online reservations and non-slip socks are the little things that make all the difference, right? 
a bunny cafe? In San Francisco? I guess it's like a good thing they're trying to promote animal welfare and stuff... but have you seen the prices of those cute little furballs? Like, are they gonna charge by the snuggle hour or something? 
), so this cafe is like, super valuable for us students who want to learn about responsible pet ownership. And can we talk about the non-slip socks? lol what's next, bunny socks? 
. But seriously, it's awesome that they're partnering with local rescues and offering discounts for first responders and medical providers. It's all about giving back to the community 
.
and if it's going to raise awareness about bunny care and help some rescues out, then maybe it's not all bad? i mean, i guess Alex would want people to love and learn about bunnies, right? but still... i don't know, man 
for trackin bunny food intake. gotta support this kinda initiative
